Full size Lofree with the creamy sound

You mean you don't want it to be compact? You could look at the Keychron K5 Max, but it probably won't sound or feel as good as the Lofree. Would probably feel better though if you got different switches.

Are Keychron switches supposed to die this fast?

Are you sure it is the switches? Have you done controlled experiments? For example, does a suspect switch still fail if inserted back in (in a different location)? Reseat before exchanging.

Do mechanical keyboards really make a big difference for everyday gaming?

I have had your normal dell board, a razer black widow with red switches, a Corsair with optical switches and now have a keychron k5 max with brown switches.

If your looking for low profile, check out the nuphy air96v2 with wisteria/moss/brown switches. Could also check out the Keychron K17 Max/Keychron K5 Max with brown switches.
